			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Di berbagai kantor/perusahaan, sudah menjadi kebijakan perusahaan untuk memblokir akses internet pada alamat-alamat website yang tidak sesuai dengan kebijakan kantor. Ini memang sudah lazim dan tentunya sangat bermanfaat untuk kantor agar dapat melindungi para pekerja dari website-website jahat dan sekaligus meningkatkan produktifitas karyawan.</p>
<p>Namun, terkadang bebarapa website-website bagus yang berguna untuk kita ikut masuk dalan list yang terblokir oleh kantor. Untuk mengakali ini saya biasa menggunakan <a href="https://www.torproject.org/" target="_blank">TOR proxy</a>. Cara ini sudah sangat ampuh untuk bisa masuk ke website-website yang diblokir tersebut. TOR adalah anonymous proxy yang akan mengenkrip data-data browsing anda ke TOR server dengan tunneling terenkripsi diantara PC/laptop anda dengan TOR exit server. Jadi data sepanjang PC/laptop sampai dengan TOR exit server akan aman karena terenkripsi. Setelah keluar dari TOR exit server ke website tujuan anda, data sudah tidak terenkripsi lagi kecuali koneksi anda menggunakan HTTPS.<br />
<span id="more-339"></span><br />
Oke, jadi itu adalah TOR yang bisa digunakan untuk anonymous browsing yang terenkripsi. Sekarang salah satu trik lagi untuk menembus website-website yang diblokir yaitu bisa menggunakan <a href="http://www.openssh.com/" target="_blank">SSH</a> tunneling. Koneksi ini juga terenkripsi dan terkompresi dari PC/laptop sampai dengan SSH exit server. Jika mempunyai sebuah IP publik untuk SSH server, tentu akan sangat mudah sekali untuk melakukan koneksi dari PC/laptop ke SSH server tersebut. Tetapi, jika tidak mempunyai IP publik, kita masih bisa menggunakan <a href="https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/" target"_blank">Hamachi</a> (zero conf VPN). Hamachi adalah sebuah aplikasi &#8220;<em>zero configuration</em>&#8221; VPN (<em>Virtual Private Network</em>) yang bisa digunakan untuk menghubungkan komputer-komputer dalam satu jaringan pribadi. Jadi, dari kantor masih bisa terhubung dengan jaringan komputer dirumah dengan VPN ini. Kelak, saya berencana menggunakan <a href="http://openvpn.net/" target="_blank">OpenVPN</a> untuk mengganti Hamachi saya, tetapi saat ini masih dalam proses konfigurasi server.</p>
<p>Jika menggunakan IP publik atau dengan domain yang didesain untuk SSH server, tekniknya bisa menggunakan seperti di artikel berikut ini: <a href="http://harry.sufehmi.com/archives/2007-06-12-1493/" target="_blank">Browsing Internet 10x lebih Cepat dan Stabil</a>. Selain link tersebut, masih banyak lagi artikel di internet yang menjelaskan koneksi SSH tunneling.</p>
<p>Oke, jadi itu adalah konsepnya. Saya sudah mensetup sebuah server dirumah dengan akses SSH dan di server tersebut juga sudah di setup <a href="http://www.squid-cache.org/" target="_blank">squid proxy</a>. Selain membutuhkan tunneling SSH, saya juga butuh squid proxy untuk cache manager agar menghemat bandwidth karena koneksi dengan SSH server ini terbatas sekali dengan bandwidth. Bandwidth hanya mengandalkan koneksi ADSL di rumah. Koneksi ADSL uplink dan downlink sangat terbatas, sehingga koneksi harus dikompresi dan harus dibantu dengan squid proxy sebagai cache manager.</p>
<p>Jadi jika SSH server dan Squid proxy sudah terinstal dengan baik, sekarang langsung coba praktiknya. Untuk tutorial bagaimana menginstal SSH server dan Squid, bisa lihat referensi Google, karena sudah banyak sekali tutorialnya. Ini adalah command yang saya gunakan untuk bisa terhubung dengan SSH server terenkripsi dan terkompresi sekaligus menghubungkan dengan Squid sebagai cache manager.</p>
<p>Jika koneksi langsung dengan IP lokal/publik, perintah yang digunakan adalah:<br />
<code>ssh -o "CompressionLevel=9" -C -L 8080:127.0.0.1:3128 -p 22 -N user@192.168.0.XXX</code></p>
<p>Jika koneksi dengan <strong>Hamachi</strong>, perintah yang digunakan adalah:<br />
<code>ssh -o "CompressionLevel=9" -C -L 8080:127.0.0.1:3128 -p 22 -N username@5.XXX.XXX.XXX</code></p>
<p>Setelah koneksi terhubung, sekarang tinggal melakukan konfigurasi pada browser. Ini adalah konfigurasi pada browser dari koneksi SSH diatas:<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/proxy.jpg" alt="SSH Proxy" title="SSH Proxy" /><br />Konfigurasi proxy pada PC/laptop client. Intinya adalah browser akan membinding ke port 8080 dari localhost. Port 8080 ini akan diteruskan oleh SSH ke SSH server dengan enkripsi dan kompresi.</center></p>
<p>Keterangan skrip:<br />
<code>-p = menentukan port ssh server pada host yang anda tuju<br />
-o = opsi aplikasi ssh. Cek man (5) ssh_config tentang "CompressionLevel"<br />
-C = Kompresi data yang ditransfer oleh SSH<br />
-N = Tanpa shell, hanya mengaktifkan port forwarding pada openSSH<br />
-L = Melakukan local port forwarding pada server agar menforward request pada port 8080 (port untuk binding ke localhost) ke local server port 3128 (port yang digunakan untuk squid proxy)</code></p>
<p>Untuk linux/unix client, untuk melakukan koneksi ini sangat mudah, tinggal masuk ke terminal saja dan mengetik perintah diatas. Untuk PC/laptop dengan OS Windows yang terinstal <a href="http://cygwin.org/" target="_blank">Cygwin</a>, koneksi ini bisa dilakukan di Cygwin yang sudah diinstal modul SSHnya. Untuk PC/laptop dengan OS Windows tanpa Cygwin, koneksi ini bisa menggunakan <a href="http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/putty_portable" target="_blank">Putty</a>.</p>
<p>Syarat agar koneksi ini berhasil adalah port 22 untuk SSH tidak diblokir, jika port tersebut terblokir oleh <em>firewall</em> maka teknik ini tidak bisa digunakan.</p>
<p>Ketika kita melakukan browsing dari internet cafe atau hotspot publik, saya sangat menyarankan untuk menggunakan TOR atau koneksi dengan SSH ini karena koneksi tanpa enkripsi sangat rentan untuk disadap. Jadi ini adalah salah satu teknik keamanan anda berinternet di internet cafe atau hotpot gratisan.</p>
<p>Silahkan mencoba dan semoga bermanfaat. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_peace.gif' alt='[peace]' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Minggu lalu saya mencoba <a href="http://clonezilla.org/" target="_blank">Clonezilla</a>. Karena keterbatasan waktu, jadi baru sekarang ringkasannya bisa ditulis. Saya sebenarnya sudah tahu tentang Clonezilla beberapa tahun lalu, tetapi belum sempat untuk menggunakannya. Baru kali ini bisa mencobanya. Saya berhasil membuat duplikat HD laptop saya. Sehingga ketika di coba hasil duplikat kedalam laptop saya, hasilnya sangat memuaskan. Semua isi hard disk, MBR dan bootloader disalin secara rapi tanpa ada yang tertinggal. Kereeenn&#8230;. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_peace.gif' alt='[peace]' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Clonezilla adalah sebuah software yang berfungsi untuk menyalin seluruh isi hard disk atau hanya partisi hard disk ke hard disk lain. Bisa juga disalin ke sebuah image. Clonezilla akan menyalin setiap cluster dan sector dari hard disk asal ke hard disk tujuan. Jika disalin kedalam image, maka akan dipaketkan kedalam sebuah file image. Clonezilla berbasis Linux, masih satu keluarga dengan debian dan ubuntu. Untuk menduplikat isi hard disk bisa menggunakan jaringan melalui <em>network booting</em> lewat jaringan atau bisa juga hanya menggunakan media USB (seperti external hard disk), IDE atau SATA. Syaratnya hanya media yang akan disalin dan media yang akan dicopy harus sama atau lebih besar kapasitasnya.</p>
<p>Jika menyalin seluruh isi hard disk, maka Clonezilla akan menyalin isi MBR dan bootloader. Jadi bs untuk dijadikan sebagai hot-swap hard disk. Maksudnya, sebagai hard disk cadangan atau untuk hard disk pc/laptop. Jika suatu saat nanti HD laptop/pc mengalami masalah HD, maka hanya perlu menswap HD lama dengan HD hasil duplikat saja. Tidak perlu menginstall OS atau driver-driver lainnya. Clonezilla juga bs digunakan untuk menyalin isi HD ke PC/Laptop lain jika memiliki kesamaan hardware. Jika yang disalin OS berbayar, nanti tinggal mengganti licensenya saja (jika diperlukan).<br />
<span id="more-268"></span><br />
Oke.. Langsung saja, berikut adalah hasil tangkapan layar ketika saya menggunakannya:</p>
<ol>
<li>Jalankan Clonezilla</li>

<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Clonezilla3.jpg" alt="Clonezilla" title="Clonezilla" /><br />Pilih Start clonezilla atau masuk Shell command</center></p>
<li>Pilih mode yang akan digunakan</li>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Clonezilla4.jpg" alt="Clonezilla" title="Clonezilla" /><br />Pilih apakah akan menyalin kedalam image atau menyalin ke hard disk lain</center></p>
<li>Beginner atau expert mode</li>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Clonezilla5.jpg" alt="Clonezilla" title="Clonezilla" /><br />Saya pilih beginner karena ini memang pertama kali buat saya.</center></p>
<li>Mode penyalinan</li>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Clonezilla6.jpg" alt="Clonezilla" title="Clonezilla" /><br />Ada berbagai macam mode penyalinan. Silahkan pilih sesuai kebutuhan</center></p>
<li>Setting jaringan</li>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Clonezilla7.jpg" alt="Clonezilla" title="Clonezilla" /><br />Silahkan diset jika anda memilih mode <em>network booting</em></center></p>
<li>Hard disk sumber dan hard disk tujuan</li>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Clonezilla8.jpg" alt="Clonezilla" title="Clonezilla" /><br />Silahkan pilih hard disk sumber yang akan disalin dan hard disk tujuan</center></p>
<li>Memulai proses duplikasi</li>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Clonezilla9.jpg" alt="Clonezilla" title="Clonezilla" /><br />Proses duplikasi sudah dimulai. Anda bisa tinggal tidur jika sudah sampai tahap ini&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_bigsmile.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  </center></p>
<li>Selesai</li>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Clonezilla10.jpg" alt="Clonezilla" title="Clonezilla" /><br />Proses duplikasi sudah selesai</center>
</ol>
<p>That&#8217;s it&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_dance.gif' alt=':dance:' class='wp-smiley' />  Selesai sudah proses menyalin isi hard disk&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_party.gif' alt='[party]' class='wp-smiley' />  Hard disk yang disalin tersebut langsung dicoba dipasang di laptop. Ternyata dapat bekerja dengan baik. Semua sama persis dengan hard disk di laptop lama. HD salinan ini akan disimpan untuk berjaga-jaga jika suatu saat ada masalah pada hard disk lama, jadi tidak repot-repot lagi instal ulang. Tinggal tukar saja dengan hard disk cadangan ini&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':smile:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can use your web server to download torrent for you. If you are a download freak and want to download a torrent but your office network block all of torrent peer to peer connection, then you can use this tool. If you can connect to your house web server and install <a href="http://www.torrentflux.com/" target="_blank">TorrentFlux</a> on it. Then, you can download torrent anytime anywhere.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have often to backup a site using FTP or FTPS client. Many of FTP clients I have try but seems like I don&#8217;t find the best one for me. Until I try <a href="http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/filezilla_portable" target="_blank">FileZilla Portable</a> on my windows box. Actually I already have it for a long time, but it was rarely used. Until I remember that I have it on my hardisk and want to try it.</p>
<p>After using it. Wow, I was shocked. FileZilla now able to download a simultaneous file from one site. This is very good for me, because back in few years ago, I have to use a demo of a proprietary software to try a simultaneous download. <strong><em>But now, It&#8217;s all free</em></strong>. Just download <a href="http://filezilla-project.org/" target="_blank">FileZilla</a>. <strong>Thanks to FOSS</strong>. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<span id="more-213"></span><br />
If you are using Linux/Ubuntu:<br />
<code>$ sudo apt-get install filezilla</code></p>
<p>Simultaneous download:<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Filezilla.jpg" alt="FileZilla" /></center></p>
<p>Settings:<br />
<center><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/FilezillaSetting.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/FilezillaSetting-thumb.jpg" alt="FileZilla" /></a></center></p>
<p>May be it would be better for FileZilla to be able to support simultaneous FTP connection to many sites beside simultaneous file download just from one site. Or do you have any suggestion&#8230; ??</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s already more than a year I&#8217;m using a password management called <a href="http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepass_portable" tagret="_blank">KeePass Password Safe Portable</a>. I am a  big fan of <a href="http://portableapps.com/" target="_blank">Portable Apps</a>, all of those application from <a href="http://portableapps.com/" target="_blank">Portable Apps</a> is already on my thumb drive plus more application like Opera Portable, Skype Portable, XAMPP and many more. This portable apps always useful when you need to use another PC, but you want to use your application, not using the application on host PC, besides you don&#8217;t want to leave your data on another PC. This application help me a lot while working on another PC. Unfortunately, Portable Apps only available on windows. All of application coming from <a href="http://portableapps.com/" target="_blank">Portable Apps</a> is on FOSS based.<br />
<span id="more-210"></span><br />
One of those application that I want to share is <a href="http://keepass.info/" target="_blank">KeePass Password Safe</a>. This application is free. I&#8217;m using <a href="http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepass_portable" target="_blank">KeePass Password Safe Portable</a> version. I am already storing more than 120 passwords. This is useful when you usually forgot password or you are rarely used the account and password or you always use different/switch browser. Maybe you have dual-boot OS, then you need to remember the password when we switch to different OS. Off course, you don&#8217;t need this application if you can remember all off your password.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/KeePassPortable.jpg" alt="Keepass on Windows" /></center></p>
<p>The good thing of this application is this is multi platform application. So you can open, storing and editing the same database file from any OS (Cross Platform Password Management). To open this application on Linux (Ubuntu), you need to install KeepassX.</p>
<p><code>$ <strong>sudo apt-get install keepassx</strong></code></p>
<p>After the installation, you can open, store, edit, create and manage your password.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Keepass1.jpg" alt="Enter the master password" /></center><br />
<center>Enter the master password</center><br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Keepass3.jpg" alt="Creating new entry" /></center><br />
<center>Creating new entry</center><br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Keepass2.jpg" alt="Password Management" /></center><br />
<center>Password Management</center></p>
<p>Manage you password carefully, don&#8217;t let anyone get your password database file. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First thing to say, <strong><em>Don&#8217;t read this if you already know how</em></strong>.</p>
<p>I am making a summary of mounting my USB on my <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/" target="_Blank">VirtualBox</a>. It&#8217;s not a problem if you are using Windows host, but if you are using Linux host, you should use this step to mount your USB on VirtualBox. OK, here is the step:<br />
<span id="more-207"></span><br />
1. Add yourself to the vboxusers group created when you installed VirtualBox. Go to System &#8211;> Administration &#8211;> User and Group. Press unlock and the click Manage Group. Then go to vboxuser properties.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/UserSetting.jpg" alt="User properties" /></center></p>
<p>Then, tick on your user account and make a note of your Group ID (GID). See below:<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/USerSetting2.jpg" alt="Vboxuser" /></center></p>
<p>2. Add this line at the end of your <code>/etc/fstab</code> file:</p>
<p><code>none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=<strong>[your GID]</strong>,devmode=664 0 0</code></p>
<p>3. And also add this line in <code>/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh</code> file:</p>
<p><code>## Mount the usbfs for use in Virtual Box<br />
domount usbfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb -onoexec,nosuid,nodev,devgid=<strong>[your GID]</strong>,devmode=664</code></p>
<p>4. Restart your computer.</p>
<p>5. Don&#8217;t forget to add it on your Virtualbox setting.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Vbox.jpg" alt="Vbox Setting" /></center></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_dance.gif' alt=':dance:' class='wp-smiley' />   <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_peace.gif' alt='[peace]' class='wp-smiley' />  Now you should able to use your USB (Flash disk, printer, etc) on your VirtualBox.</p>
<p>Note:<br />
- Host: Ubuntu 8.10<br />
- VirtualBox: Sun xVM VirtualBox Version 2.0.6<br />
- Don&#8217;t put your USB mouse on the list, if you do that, you only able to use you USB mouse from your guest OS (unable to access by host).</p>
<p>Update:<br />
I have found this link. Here is a complete guide using VirtualBox on Ubuntu:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a multimedia file. It&#8217;s a movie. I play it in Ubuntu with Totem Movie Player. I find the video of the movie was good but the volume was too low. I have already try to increase speaker volumes and player volumes but they are already on maximum level. I can&#8217;t get more volume even my laptop speaker able to play more. This is not a problem if you have an external speaker with amplifier. You can increase the volumes without any problem, because when using external speaker you have the ability to increase it with amplifier. But I don&#8217;t have it right now, I just have my laptop internal speaker and or an earphone. It&#8217;s the only one I got. So, now I want try to find how to increase the volume of the movie (or any other multimedia files) on my laptop if the sound is too low.<br />
<span id="more-205"></span><br />
Next, I try to play it with another player, it&#8217;s Gnome Player. This time, Gnome Player have the same result with Totem. It can&#8217;t increase the volume. Then, I try to use VLC. VLC able to increase the volume by software, but it&#8217;s not much. It has limited to some value only. Then when I play again the movie, it&#8217;s mute in the middle of the movie. The volume is still quite low and there is silent after playing for few minutes. It&#8217;s still not good.</p>
<p>Next, I use Avidemux to increase the volume. By using Avidemux, I can increase the gain to maximum -3 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel" target="_blank">dB</a>. It takes about 25 minutes to convert it.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Avidemux.jpg" alt="Avidemux" /></center><br />
After the conversion was done. I play it again, but it still I don&#8217;t get a good sound. It still low volume.</p>
<p>Next, I try another player, It&#8217;s <a href="http://smplayer.berlios.de/" target="_blank">SMPlayer</a>. I was surprise that I found SMPlayer able to increase the volume when playing a multimedia file. If you don&#8217;t have SMPlayer, just install it with synaptic or using this command:</p>
<p><code>$ sudo apt-get install smplayer</code></p>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/SMPlayer2.jpg" alt="SMPlayer" /></center><br />
If you already install SMPlayer, you can increase the volume. Just click preferences button and then you can configure it. On <strong>Preferences</strong> window, just go to <strong>General</strong> | <strong>Audio</strong> tab. Check <strong>&#8220;Use software volume control&#8221;</strong> and set your maximum amplification. I put the value to <strong>900</strong>, I don&#8217;t know what is the maximum limit but you can put your desired value and see what happen. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/SMPlayer.jpg" alt="SMPlayer Preference" /></center><br />
After I set the value, I find the volume increasing rather than before. It&#8217;s good, because it&#8217;s increased when I playing the movie. I don&#8217;t need to convert it before I play (like using Avidemux). You can use Avidemux to edit or convert your multimedia files or to play it in another player. But to increase the volume when playing multimedia file, just use <a href="http://smplayer.berlios.de/" target="_blank">SMPlayer</a>. Works fine on windows too[peace]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I&#8217;m a dual boot user. Ubuntu and Windows XP. The reason why I am still using Windows is because most of my software to work is Windows based, it&#8217;s not ported to Linux yet. I am using <a href="http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable" target="_blank">Thunderbird Portable</a> on Windows and another <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/" target="_blank">Thunderbird</a> on Ubuntu. I am using the same version of mail client (Thunderbird). I want to read the same mailbox and address book on both OS. So, I can still read the same mailbox on Ubuntu or on Windows.<br />
<span id="more-203"></span><br />
<strong>1. Making the same Thunderbird mailbox</strong><br />
Right after you create a new account, you can set path to your mailbox. Go to <strong>Tools</strong> -> <strong>Account Settings</strong>.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Thund2.jpg" alt="Thunderbird Local Directory setting" /></center><br />
Then go to <strong>Server setting</strong> and set your <strong>Local Directory</strong> folder. Do the same for Linux. Just set the same folder. After that, you can access your mailbox on both OS.</p>
<p>I am choosing to use my FAT32 partition on the path directory because windows and linux able to read and write into that partition. PLUS, It&#8217;s better to have <a href="http://blog.iqbalir.com/archives/2008/11/tips-auto-mount-partition-on-startup/">automatically mounted partition on start-up</a>.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE (09 Jan 2009):</strong><br />
For those of you where using IMAP, you should tick &#8220;Select this folder for offline use&#8221; option on Inbox of your IMAP folder. Don&#8217;t forget to set both on Linux and Windows your local directory on same folder.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/IMAP.jpg" alt="IMAP offline" /></center></p>
<p><strong>2. Making the same Thunderbird address book</strong><br />
You can install Thunderbird <a href="http://www.ggbs.de/extensions/AddressbooksSynchronizer.html">automatic synchronization plugin</a> to synchronize between your two Thunderbird. Use the same plugin for both OS. <a href="http://www.ggbs.de/extensions/download/AddressbooksSync-0.9.4.xpi">Download this plugin</a> and install it on both Thunderbird. With this plugin you can synchronize:<br />
    * with local files (resp. files on network shares)<br />
    * with files via FTP or WebDAV (http or https)<br />
    * with files stored in an IMAP folder</p>
<p>After you install the plugin, just set it like below. Go to <strong>Tools</strong> -> <strong>Addressbook Synchronizer</strong>. First add your path and then check auto download and upload when starting and exiting. You can select all of your address book to synchronize.<br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/addressbook.jpg" alt="Thunderbird address book" /><br />
Now, you will have automatically copied address book to or from local directory (or FTP/HTTP if you set a remote address) every time you open your Thunderbird. You need to choose partition that able to read and write by both OS.</p>
<p>Note: Be sure to exit your Thunderbird every time you log off or shutdown to make it uploaded to your directory automatically. Otherwise it will not uploaded and loose your changes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you running compositing window manager like this?<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Compiz.gif" alt="Compiz" /></center><br />
Yes, it&#8217;s very good compositing window manager, called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz_Fusion">Compiz-Fusion</a>. If you are using this compositing window manager, you must have sufficient enough hardware resources. For example VGA type and RAM sufficient enough on your system to make it works perfectly.<br />
<span id="more-199"></span><br />
I&#8217;m using HP Compaq Presario V3660TU, a Core 2 duo processor with 4GB of RAM and Intel 965 VGA Card. I&#8217;m using the maximum RAM that can be used on this machine. Even the RAM is already on maximum, but it&#8217;s still slow when running Compiz with enabling the best plugins on compiz. Then it&#8217;s come to the slowest machine ever. Do you see this picture&#8230;??<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Heavy.gif" alt="Heavy Compiz" /></center><br />
You can see in that picture, CPU temperature already at 64 degree, <strong>RAM already used 93 percent, and swap memory already used 96 percent</strong>. To make it details, this the output when checking memory usage:</p>
<p><code>iqbalir@unknown-localhost:~$ free<br />
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached<br />
Mem:       4046228    3973492      72736          0      15576     141220<br />
-/+ buffers/cache:    3816696     229532<br />
Swap:      2015544    1959116      56428</code></p>
<p>What application is actually using a lot of resources? You can see on that picture, It&#8217;s 3 of them, Xorg, Firefox and Flock. You can&#8217;t imagine how slow this machine was when three of them is used together and both browser was opening many pages.</p>
<p>So, to avoid this, here&#8217;s what I do:<br />
1. Tune my Firefox &#038; Flock to use minimal plugins, you can use Firefox profile changer plugins to switch between profile. You can create many profile and use it only when you need it.<br />
2. Make 2 types of compiz profile. One is the maximum plugins and using the best plugins to show off to your friends and another one is your light version of compiz that is not require much resources. You can saved each profile and load it anytime when you need it.<br />
3. Use Compiz Fusion icon to switch easily to metacity (vice-versa) when you don&#8217;t need compiz for a while.</p>
<p>I think that&#8217;s all, I hope it&#8217;s usefull. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are an Ubuntu/Linux user who has another partition on your hard disk, such as NTFS, FAT32 or any other type of partition. Every time you boot, you need to mount it manually, or you can create a script to make it automatically mounted. This tips is for those of you want to do automatically mount partition on every time you boot (using GUI) but don&#8217;t know how to make that script.</p>
<p>First, you need to install <strong>&#8220;Disk Manager&#8221;</strong>, you can use Synaptic to install it or you can use this command, both methods are the same.</p>
<p><code>$ sudo apt-get install disk-manager</code><br />
<span id="more-200"></span><br />
After you already install it, now go to:<br />
<strong>System -> Administration -> Disk Manager</strong></p>
<p>You will now find this window:<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Disk.gif" alt="Disk Manager" /></center><br />
To make it automatically mount on startup, you need to check <strong>&#8220;Detect new device on startup&#8221;</strong>. If you need to configure it, click on &#8220;Configure New Partition&#8221; button (see the picture below) and select which partition you want to configure using &#8220;Auto Configure&#8221; mount point or you can make a different mount point.<br />
<center><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Disk2.gif"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Disk2_thumb.gif" alt="Configure" /></a>    <a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Disk4.gif"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Disk4_thumb.gif" alt="Configure" /></a></center><br />
Ok, just that&#8217;s it. Now, reboot your machine.</p>
<p>At the first time boot (this is apply only at the first boot), a new icon will come at the upper right corner of the task bar, an icon of Disk Manager. You can click on it and than just apply the changes. Now your partition will automatically mounted at boot. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_sunglas.gif' alt=':cool:' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_peace.gif' alt='[peace]' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of Intrepid Ibex special features is easy switching to various type of wireless internet access. You can switch from Wifi and Cellular (GPRS, 3G or HSDPA) network easily. On certain devices, you even don&#8217;t need command line anymore. I am using Huawei E220 modem, while on Hardy 8.04, I should use some tricks to make it work (still on command line). Now on Intrepid Ibex, you can setup the connection on GUI.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the step:<br />
1. When you plug Huawei E220/E270 modem, a notification will appear. Then click configure button.<br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Huawei220_step1.gif" alt="Step 1" /><br />
<span id="more-198"></span></p>
<p>2. Next press forward.<br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Huawei220_step2.gif" alt="Step 2" /></p>
<p>3. Select your country and your operator, usually it&#8217;s automatically detected and automatically configured.<br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Huawei220_step3.gif" alt="Step 3" /></p>
<p>4. Then click apply.<br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Huawei220_step4.gif" alt="Step 4" /></p>
<p>Then it&#8217;s finish. You can connect now. Just click on network manager and then connect.<br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Huawei220_step6.gif" alt="Step 5" /></p>
<p>If you want to edit the setting, just go to:<br />
<strong>System -> Preferences -> Network Configuration</strong><br />
Then select &#8220;Mobile Broadband&#8221; tab to edit or add a new connection.<br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Huawei220_step5.gif" alt="Network Manager" /></p>
<p>There you can edit the setting of your username, password, APN etc. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_peace.gif' alt='[peace]' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my second time upgrading my Ubuntu. Last time I was upgrade from Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) to Hardy Heron LTS (Ubuntu 8.04). At that time it was successful. I was upgrading ubuntu (not a fresh install). It took very long time, may be around more or less 27 hours to complete. WOW&#8230; It&#8217;s was so long. Thank to <a href="http://indrayogi.multiply.com/" target="_blank">Indra</a> for his kindness provide me his bandwidth for free. Even I&#8217;m already install many application at that time, but I don&#8217;t find any errors after upgrading at that time. Everything was good. I just need to re-install modem and sound for that new kernel. After that, everything was normal.</p>
<p>Now, the new Intrepid Ibex is coming. This is new version of Ubuntu 8.10. It&#8217;s time for me to upgrade. But, many of my application are not coming only from Ubuntu, many of my application already mixed with another linux application. So, I&#8217;m trying to upgrade my ubuntu at the moment. I try to upgrade rather than do a fresh install. Even my Ubuntu seem already slowing in speed and it seems like it need to re-install again. The problem was actually because I don&#8217;t want to re-install again, I was hoping after I upgrade, It will speedup my Ubuntu.</p>
<p>So, I was try to upgrade my Ubuntu last Friday. After I started to upgrade, I found that I need to download <strong>1960 packages</strong>. WOW&#8230; It will take very long time to download. You can find the progress after <strong>16 hours</strong> of download here.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/Upgrade.gif" alt="Upgrading Ubuntu 8.10" /><br />
Here is the progress after 16 hours of download. Wow, still long way to go&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  </center><br />
<span id="more-197"></span><br />
After I complete the download (it took about <strong>30 hours</strong> to complete in total). I straight away to configure my new Ubuntu 8.10 version. The problem I found was the wifi that I used to connect can&#8217;t working properly. Usually I need <strong>rutilt</strong> to connect to my hidden wifi network, but now I can&#8217;t connect at all.  I&#8217;m trying to solved this may be for an hour, but no luck. Then I try to use network manager that came along with Ubuntu, and then is was working. It&#8217;s very good.</p>
<p>After looking around to this new version. It&#8217;s still slow and some of my application was not working, may be it&#8217;s not compatible with this new version. Another one was my log-off button and shutdown button was separated one to another. This was not suited my satisfaction. <strong>So, It&#8217;s time to do a Fresh Install</strong>. Then it goes. I was re-install again my Ubuntu to version 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.</p>
<p>What is the difference at this time. Intrepid Ibex now able to view my hidden wifi network. As you see, this is my old Hardy Heron wifi network.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/AP.gif" alt="AP" /><br />
My old Hardy Heron unable to view hidden wifi network.</center><br />
This is my new connection manager on Intrepid Ibex.<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/AP2.gif" alt="AP" /><br />
My new Intrepid Ibex now able to view hidden wifi network. BRAVO&#8230; =d> <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_peace.gif' alt='[peace]' class='wp-smiley' />  The blue one are a normal Access Point and the red one are the hidden AP. Both are now able to viewed normally. But there is still a <strong>&#8220;Connect to Hidden Wireless&#8221;</strong> menu on that network manager. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_bigsmile.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  </center></p>
<p>Everything is good now, my linux is faster and I can connect to my hidden wifi network easily. Viva Ubuntu&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_peace.gif' alt='[peace]' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_dance.gif' alt=':dance:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong><br />
- The only problem that I notice right now is just the modem. I&#8217;m trying to install conexant driver from linuxant, but it&#8217;s still failed. Arrgghhh&#8230;<br />
- Another problem was an error when running kdebluetooth4&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_doh.gif' alt='[oops]' class='wp-smiley' />  pppfffuuuhh&#8230;. Still need some time find out why&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_question.gif' alt=':???:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I am using Linux Ubuntu, currently still 8.04.1, but the new 8.10 will coming just in 2 days again. Ok, let start what we got here. I will explain what gadget that work on my linux and what is not working. Maybe you can advice me later how to make my gadget (that is not work right now) to work on linux. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_peace.gif' alt='[peace]' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<span id="more-195"></span><br />
Starting with:<br />
A. <strong>HP Compaq Presario V3660TU.</strong> This is my laptop, currently still running dual boot because most of my work software is only working on Windows. I&#8217;m using Linux Ubuntu mostly at home, but sometime I&#8217;m using Linux at office just for browsing and doing any stuff that is not related with work.<br />
B. <strong>Acer Aspire 2920Z.</strong> This is my wife&#8217;s laptop. She is still using Windows. A simple user, she is not comfort with complicated IT stuff.<br />
C. <strong>Panasonic SDR-H40.</strong> This is my Handycam with 40GB HDD (Hard Disk Drive). <strong>Running SMOOTHLY</strong> on Linux. My Ubuntu can read the hard drive and play it directly from my Handycam. No need additional drivers. Like the one you saw on screen of my laptop.<br />
D. <strong>Canon Powershot S60.</strong> This is my 4 years old 5MP camera. <strong>Running SMOOTHLY</strong> on linux. No need additional drivers. F-Spot photo run automatically when I plug it.<br />
E. <strong>O2 Atom Life.</strong> This is my PDA. Currently still <strong>NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY</strong> on linux. I am trying to run SynCE but still not working. Any idea? My PDA is running Windows Mobile 6.<br />
F. <strong>Benq C350.</strong> This is my webcam. Currently <strong>NOT RUNNING</strong> on linux. I am trying with several driver like gspca, uvcvideo, pwc and ov511 but still NOT working. Even I already contact gspca developer and asking for help but they can&#8217;t help me. Try to contacting the manufacturer to asking for linux driver but they are not reply me. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  It&#8217;s so bad. Seem like I need to buy another webcam that is supported by linux.</p>
<p>Ok, that&#8217;s is all of my stuff on the photo. That photo was taken with my wife&#8217;s gadget <strong>Sony Ericsson P1i</strong>. Oh ya, I forgot to attach my <strong>Huawei E220</strong> there. Both that gadget are supported by linux too.</p>
<p>Another part from the picture are:<br />
1. My power cord, many cord for laptop and charger. Wow, what a mess.<br />
2. Upss&#8230; This is my towel outside of the window. Waiting to dry.<br />
3. My notebook. Can&#8217;t live without it. Haha&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beberapa bulan lalu saya dan istri <a href="http://vie.iqbalir.com/journal/2008/06/jalan-jalan-ke-palembang">jalan-jalan ke Palembang</a> mengunjungi mertua. Sepulang dari sana, mertua saya ikut juga ke Jakarta. Saat pulang itulah kami sibuk mencari tiket pesawat untuk 4 orang. Sudah menanyakan ke beberapa <em>travel agent</em> via telpon, tapi masih belum mendapatkan hasil yang memuaskan. Akhirnya kami <em>hunting</em> langsung ke agen-agen perjalanan yang paling dekat dengan tempat tinggal.</p>
<p>Setelah menemui beberapa <em>travel agent</em>, akhirnya dapat tiket dari maskapai yang baru beroprasi disana. Namanya mirip sebuah <em>Operating System</em> terkenal yang bersifat <em>Open Source</em>. Hanya berbeda pada huruf akhirnya saja. Inilah dia&#8230; trengg teng teng&#8230; <strong>Linux&#8230;</strong> Uppsss salah&#8230; <strong><a href="http://linusairways.com/">Linus Airways</a></strong>&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<center><img src="http://www.geocities.com/iqbal_ir/LinuxAirways.jpg" alt="Linux Airways" /></center><br />
<center>Pertama kali naik Linu(x)s Airways</center></p>
<p>Saya sudah hampir setahun menggunakan Linux (distro Ubuntu), jadi agak lucu juga denger nama maskapai tersebut. Abis namanya mirip banget sih&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Saya posting ini karena kebetulan udah lama ngga buka <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iqbalir"><em>account</em> Flickr saya</a>. Perjalanan saya selama di Palembang ada <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iqbalir/tags/palembang/">disini</a>. Tapi sayang, <em>account</em> saya masih belum pakai yang pro, padahal jumlah photo sudah lebih dari 240an. Mungkin ada yang mau menyumbangi saya Flickr Pro..?? <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_bigsmile.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are using Maestro (Lite) 100 GPRS/GSM modem, can be a little bit difficult to do dial up using that device. Means we&#8217;re using the modem for dial up GPRS to connect to internet. It&#8217;s very rare modem, for really special purpose modem. A little bit hard to find the configuration on the internet. After doing some work around to find out, trying and searching the best way to connect with it. Finally I am able to connect.</p>
<p>Configuration:<br />
OS: Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon)<br />
Modem: Maestro Lite 100 GPRS/GSM Modem<br />
Connection: /dev/ttyUSB0</p>
<p><span id="more-187"></span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the configuration in <code>/etc/wvdial.conf</code>, I&#8217;m using AXIS simcard (you can edit your own username, password and access point.<br />
<code><br />

Baud = 9600<br />
SetVolume = 0<br />
Dial Command = ATDT<br />
Init1 = ATZ<br />
FlowControl = crtscts<br />
</code></p>
<p>After successfully dial up, you will be able to browse the web. Here&#8217;s some log when connect:</p>
<p><code>iqbalir@unknown-localhost:/$ sudo wvdial<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am still using windows a little bit on my laptop (HP Compaq Presario V3660TU), but most of the time (about 95 %) I&#8217;m using Ubuntu Linux. I&#8217;m using windows just for task that I can&#8217;t run on Linux.</p>
<p>I have 3 Operating System on my laptop. First one is my Windows, 2nd is my Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit for working and the last one is my Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit also -but this is just for my trial project or just for trying a new software-. If there is something on the Ubuntu trial project, I&#8217;ll re-instal it again <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  So, the main Ubuntu box is safe and secure. I do not need to re-install, re-download and reconfigure my main Ubuntu box.</p>
<p><span id="more-184"></span><br />
Some times I need to re-install the windows. I was using Vista both 32bit version and 64 bit version. But I still not satisfied with both of them, I&#8217;m now back to using XP due to XP is still widely supported software.</p>
<p>After several times of re-installing windows, I was lost my GRUB because of Windows. I was searching on the web how to install GRUB again, but those step does not work for me. Maybe it&#8217;s because different drive version. To Install GRUB you must use run Ubuntu live CD and open a terminal as root.</p>
<p>Recovering GRUB on SATA drive, you can try this.</p>
<p><code><br />
    $ mkdir /mnt/ubuntu<br />
    $ mount /dev/sdaX [where X is the number of your linux partition] /mnt/ubuntu<br />
    $ mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc<br />
    $ mount --bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev<br />
    $ chroot /mnt/ubuntu<br />
    $ grub-install /dev/sda<br />
</code></p>
<p>It works for me&#8230;!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/iqbalir-linux.png" alt="Iqbal Laptop" /></center><br />
Minggu kemarin saya membeli laptop baru, ini adalah laptop pribadi pertama yang saya miliki. Sebelumnya 5 tahun terakhir ini saya mendapatkan laptop dari kantor. 3 tahun menggunakan <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Latitude">DELL Latitude C640</a> semasa bekerja di Motorola Indonesia dan 2 tahun terakhir ini menggunakan <a href="http://h18002.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12130_div/12130_div.HTML">HP Compaq nc6220</a> yang sampai saat ini masih digunakan karena masih bekerja di Er*cs**n Indonesia.<br />
<span id="more-179"></span><br />
Dengan ditemani <a href="http://indrayogi.multiply.com/">Indra</a> dan istrinya, saya juga bersama istri hunting laptop di dusit mangga dua. Meski sebenarnya belum melakukan survey yang cukup memadai (artinya bahan risetnya masih sangat kurang banget) tetapi karena butuh laptop untuk keperluan pribadi, jadi dengan modal nekad saya tetap hunting laptop. Saya survey saja berdasarkan laptop-laptop yang ditawarkan oleh toko-toko penjaja laptop, dengan analisis yang singkat (hanya sehari saja) akhirnya saya mendapatkan laptop yang sekiranya cocok, yaitu HP Compaq Presario V3660TU. Meski sebelumnya saya sangat tertarik dengan ASUS A8E22DX tetapi ternyata harganya masih mahal ditambah lagi saya belum pernah menggunakan produk ASUS sebelumnya jadi ragu-ragu untuk membeli ASUS. Setelah tukar pikiran dengan &#8220;rombongan&#8221;, akhirnya saya menjatuhkan pilihan ke HP Compaq tersebut.</p>
<p>Keesokan harinya saya mencoba menginstal Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 64 bit ke laptop terseut, alhamdulillah berhasil <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  .Setelah itu instal software ini dan itu, akhirnya jadi deh laptop siap pakai. Berikut skrinsyutnya:</p>
<p><center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/iqbalir-linux2.png" alt="Linux Iqbal" /><br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/iqbalir-linux5.png" alt="Linux Iqbal" /><br />
<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/iqbalir-linux6.png" alt="Linux Iqbal" /></center></p>
<p>Ubuntu tersebut saya pasangi theme Mac, walaupun belum kesampaian memiliki Mac, setidaknya meski sebenarnya pakai ubuntu tetapi rasanya seperti memakai Mac. Waah&#8230; Maksa banget sih&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_bigsmile.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Mungkin nanti kalau dapat software instalasi Mac, saya mau coba di instal di laptop baru.</p>
<p>Senang akhirnya bisa mencicipi si Gutsy, walaupun sebelumnya saya hanya bisa mencicipinya melalui Live CD <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Tapi sepertinya suara hardisk di Gutsy kok lebih <em>tidak</em> nyaman dibanding suara hardisk di Vista ya&#8230;?? Sepertinya masalahnya sama seperti <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695">bug ini</a>. Saya sudah coba saran2 <a href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695/comments/14">disini</a> dan <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanielHahler/Bug59695">disini</a>, tapi rasanya belum selesai masalahnya. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Ada yang bisa bantu..??</p>

Ketika menulis inipun, masih menggantung beberapa tugas tulisan, laporan praktikum dan makalah (selain juga Tugas Akhir/Skripsi yang belum juga selesai) menanti untuk disentuh jika ingin segera lulus <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_cry.gif' alt=':-((' class='wp-smiley' />  . Duuuhh&#8230; kok malah curhat nih&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_giggle.gif' alt=':giggle:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Melanjutkan cerita jalan-jalan sebelumnya, saya bersama istri <a href="http://blog.iqbalir.com/archives/2007/11/gutsy-gibbon-dan-holiday-inn-bandung/">jalan-jalan ke Bandung dengan tujuan utama adalah untuk menginap di Holiday Inn</a> disamping juga untuk sekalian mengunjungi <a href="http://www.ubuntu-id.org/news/aksi-ubuntu-di-bandung-comtech-2007">Bandung comtech</a> di Be-Mall.</p>
<p><span id="more-177"></span></p>
<p>Sesampainya di Bandung, saya langsung berkunjung ke Be-Mall (Bandung Electronic Mall), tujuan utamanya selain untuk melihat Mall yang baru tersebut juga untuk melihat pameran <a href="http://www.ubuntu-id.org/news/aksi-ubuntu-di-bandung-comtech-2007">Bandung comtech</a> juga untuk mendapatkan DVD Ubuntu Repo. Akhirnya setelah naik-turun lift, saya mendapati juga lokasi pameran tersebut. Maklum, saya tidak langsung ke lantai dasar, tetapi ke lantai-lantai lainnya. Jadi tidak ketemu-ketemu deh. Setelah ketemu lokasi booth Linux (Ubuntu), saya langsung membeli DVD Ubuntu repo 64-bit (padahal saya belum punya komputer dengan processor 64-bit, maksudnya beli repo ini untuk persiapan jika dalam waktu dekat atau jauh akan memiliki komputer 64-bit) <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_bigsmile.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Setelah mengunjungi Be-Mall, saya melanjutkan untuk menginap di rumah mertua di Cikutra, karena jatah menginap di <a href="http://holiday-inn.com/bandungidn">Holiday Inn Bandung</a> baru bisa digunakan keesokanharinya.</p>
<p>Keesokanharinya saya bersama istri check-in di Holiday Inn dengan <a href="http://blog.iqbalir.com/archives/2007/06/alhamdulillah-voucher-menginap-di-holiday-inn-telah-ditangan/">menggunakan voucher dari kantor</a>. Tentu untuk menggunakannya perlu reservasi terlebih dahulu.</p>
<p>Setelah sampai di Holiday Inn, check-in dan foto-foto:<br />

Pemandangan lain dari lantai 5.</center></p>
<p>Karena di depan hotel terdapat FO (Factory Outlet), saya sempat jalan-jalan kesana dan mencocokan beberapa pakaian:<br />
<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/iqbal_Ir/images/IMG_4038.jpg" alt="Jaket kulit" /><br />
Nyobain jaket kulit. Keren ngga jaketnya&#8230;?? Harganya mahal bo&#8230;</center></p>
<p>Selama disana saya memanfaatkan fasilitas gratis yang ada, yaitu fitnes, sauna dan sarapan pagi. Hanya renang yang tidak dipergunakan karena lebih enak fitness daripada renang. Saya sempat fitness dua kali, sore dan pagi. Badan jadi lumayan banyak berkeringat. terlebih dengan sauna sampai 71 derajat selama beberapa puluh menit saja, keringat sebesar biji jagung bercucuran.</p>
<h2>Beberapa kejadian yang kurang mengenakkan</h2>
<p><strong>1. Pelayanan yang kurang sopan dari karyawan ketika akan pulang (setelah check-out).</strong><br />
Pada pagi hari, adik ipar saya datang berkunjung ke hotel. Sampai siang hari kami bertiga berjalan-jalan seputar hotel sampai saya ikut fitness bersama istri. Siangnya kami check-out, setelah melengkapi hal-hal administrasi di receptionist, saya dan istri ingin mengabadikan diri dengan berfoto di resto hotel, karena barang-barang kami ditempatkan agak berjauhan dari lokasi pengambilan foto, jadi istri saya menitipkan dengan salah satu karyawan yang kebetulan ada didekat barang-barang kami. Karyawan tersebut menjawab permintaan tolong istri saya dengan kurang sopan dan baik. Ia menjawab <em>&#8220;Boleh ditaruh disana, tetapi saya tidak bertanggungjawab jika ada kehilangan&#8221;</em>. Meski kedengarannya tidak ada masalah dengan kalimat tersebut, tetapi terkesan tidak ada rasa tanggung jawab dari karyawan tersebut terhadap kenyamanan tamu hotel. Akhirnya saya dan istri hanya berfoto sekali saja dan buru-buru kembali ke barang-barang kami yang diletakkan di cafe dekat dengan pintu utama.</p>
<p><strong>2. Pihak keamanan yang tidak sopan dan tidak menghormati tamu hotel.</strong><br />
Setelah check-out dan berfoto-foto di hotel, saya, istri dan adik ipar pergi jalan-jalan ke BEC dengan melewati pintu belakang hotel. Lokasi BEC ini sangat dekat dengan hotel, jadi kami pergi jalan-jalan hanya dengan jalan kaki karena lokasinya dekat. Ketika kami pergi, pintu belakang parkir terbuka, jadi bisa dengan mudahnya pergi kesana.</p>
<p>Sepulangnya dari BEC, kami kaget karena ternyata pintu belakang tempat kami keluar sudah terkunci dan tidak ada penjaga disana. Kami tidak melihat adanya papan petunjuk bahwa pintu akan ditutup, setidaknya pemberitahuan waktu tutup pintu di dekat pintu tersebut. Beruntung dari kejauhan kami melihat ada penjaga yang sedang bertugas. Kami sempat melambaikan tangan untuk meminta mereka datang, tetapi sepertinya mereka melihat dengan sebelah mata. Hanya melihat satu sama lain tanpa ada niat untuk mendatangi kami. Setelah agak lama, baru dua orang dari mereka yang datang mengunjungi kami dengan berjalan santai.</p>
<p>Setelah sampai, mereka menanyakan keperluan kami. Saya menjelaskan bahwa mobil saya ada di dalam parkiran hotel. Saya adalah tamu hotel. Saat itu ada juga seorang bapak dan anaknya yang baru datang ikut terjebak dengan pintu belakang yang dikunci. Menjadikan kami berlima ada di luar pagar dan tidak bisa masuk. Salah seorang penjaga tersebut menjawab <em>&#8220;Ya sudah, naiki saja pagarnya pak. Kuncinya tidak kami pegang, pihak hotel yang memegangnya.&#8221;</em> Dengan entengnya pihak kemananan tersebut menjawab seperti itu, saya agak tersinggung, kok malah disuruh manjat pagar. Kami kan tamu Hotel, belum lagi istri saya yang sudah tentu tidak bisa manjat. Istri saya sangat marah karena disuruh manjat pagar. Akhirnya kami berkeras untuk meminta dibukakan pintu belakang ini dengan meminta mereka menghubungi pihak hotel yang memiliki kunci untuk membukakan pintu belakang ini.</p>
<p>Setelah menunggu agak lama, akhirnya datang juga pihak hotel untuk membukakan pintu. Begitulah pengalaman akhir yang cukup mengecewakan ketika menginap di Holiday Inn. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Semoga menjadi masukan yang baik untuk pihak hotel <a href="http://holiday-inn.com/bandungidn">Holiday Inn Bandung</a> agar memperbaiki kekurangannya. Saya akan mengirimkan email posting ini ke pihak hotel sebagai bahan masukan untuk Holiday Inn Bandung. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alhamdulillah&#8230;. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Ada 2 hal yang membuat saya gembira minggu ini&#8230; Pertama saya akan ke Bandung untuk menggunakan <a href="http://blog.iqbalir.com/archives/2007/06/alhamdulillah-voucher-menginap-di-holiday-inn-telah-ditangan/">voucher Holiday Inn yang di dapat dari kantor</a> -<a href="http://blog.iqbalir.com/archives/2007/08/cerita-liburan/">meski pernah batal beberapa kali</a>- dan kedua akhirnya kiriman <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</a> 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon akhirnya sampai ke rumah setelah menunggu hampir 3 minggu.</p>
<p>Sebelumnya saya mendapatkan kiriman dari Ubuntu ketika masih Ubuntu 6.06 LTS &#8211; Dapper Drake. Waktu itu saya mendapatkan 10 buah CD yang terdiri dari 8 buah CD untuk PC, 1 buah CD untuk 64bit PC dan 1 buah CD untuk Mac.</p>
<p><span id="more-176"></span></p>
<p>Kali ini saya mendapatkan kiriman dari <a href="http://shipit.ubuntu.com">Shipit</a> sebanyak 3 buah, terdiri dari 2 buah CD untuk PC dan 1 buah CD untuk 64-bit PC. Rencananya 1 buah CD untuk PC akan saya berikan untuk adik saya yang sudah meminta sebelumnya untuk diberikan. Saya juga saat ini sudah <em>order</em> untuk dikirimkan Edubuntu dan Kubuntu (juga beberapa CD ubuntu lagi). Entah kapan akan sampai&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_bigsmile.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Meski Ubuntu belum pernah di instal di laptop saya, tetapi Ubuntu pernah menyelamatkan data saya ketika ntoskrnl.exe di Window$ <em>corrupt</em>. Saya menggunakan Ubuntu live CD untuk menyelamatkan data walaupun hanya ternyata hanya dapat menyelamatkan partisi FAT32. Partisi NTFS di encript dengan salah satu software yang sifatnya <em>mandatory</em> oleh kantor. Saya berencana akan menginstal ubuntu pada harddisk external agar laptop aman dan tidak terjamah. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Jadi rencananya apa saja nih di Bandung&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_question.gif' alt=':???:' class='wp-smiley' />  Pertama saya pergi ke acara <a href="http://www.ubuntu-id.org/news/aksi-ubuntu-di-bandung-comtech-2007">Bandung Comtech di Be Mall Bandung sekaligus untuk melihat aksi Ubuntu</a>, syukur-syukur bisa mendapatkan Ubuntu Repo. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Acara kedua tentu acara yang paling dinanti yaitu, menginap di Holiday Inn bandung. <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Oke deh, saya berangkat dulu ke Bandung. Maklum tulisan ini ditulis beberapa menit sebelum pergi ke Bandung. Ciao&#8230; <img src='http://blog.iqbalir.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/yahoo_sunglas.gif' alt=':cool:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
